We are artists, film makers and designers looking at how people use Accrington Town Centre. We're aiming to produce a new ‘map’ of the shopping area with people’s thoughts, ideas, images, memories and stories to help other people appreciate the benefits at the heart of Accrington.

The 3 projects, Mapping Accy, Crocheting Accy and Animating Accy were present in the Market Hall on Saturday. Lots of people came and mused over the map (hopefully I'd not forgotten anything) to admire the colours and intricate shapes in the crocheting and to enjoy the voices in the very funny video animation. Here's the links Crocheting Accy and Animating Accy at youtube.com

Oh and here's a preview of the map - more things to add (people are still sending me information) but this will give you a good idea of the direction it's taken. It's based upon the people, history and culture rather than the roads and car parks! Download a pdf of it here.
